Amid calls for action and mass protests after the killing of George Floyd and others by the police, COVID-19 has taken a disproportionate toll on African American communities.

Connecting both is systemic racism, which many experts consider one of society’s biggest public health threats.

At a Wisconsin Health News live, virtual event on Thursday, June 25, Milwaukee Health Services CEO Dr. Tito Izard will discuss what more can be done to address health inequities. He will also talk about how COVID-19 is impacting the minority communities that his center serves.

This live, virtual event is free.

Registration for the event is full. It will be livestreamed on WisconsinEye and on our Facebook page.
